Women are among those most affected by climate change. But what if we’ve been telling the wrong story? In this episode, Sana Kapadia, Chief Catalyst at Heading for Change, shares what she’s seeing in many countries: women are already creating many of the most innovative solutions to climate change. The real challenge is that climate finance hasn’t caught up. Together, we explore what it really means to invest at the intersection of climate and gender, and why this is about making better investment decisions. Sana shares how her team is using catalytic capital to demonstrate what’s possible, building a global portfolio of climate funds that back women-led climate solutions, from clean energy and sustainable supply chains to nature-based innovations. In our conversation, we discuss why a gender lens helps investors uncover innovation and opportunities that are often overlooked, and how grants, investments, and ecosystem building can work together to unlock greater impact. This episode shows why and how finance can move beyond seeing women as beneficiaries and start recognising them as leaders, innovators, and agents of change.
